I think the paint scheme was used on the Soryu Vals. Really cheesy paint job....early war I think

Probably a D3A1. There is a number on the wheel cowling I can't read. The thing underneath has no stabilizers so it probably is a drop tank.

The plane seems to be flying above an atoll.

Right, about the wing tip. Now it's the wing tip of what type of plane?

Would my man Brady post a photo of the same aircraft type he uses in his avatar and ask us to identify it?

Naw, he's too classy a guy to give us that kind of a wedgie...

BTW, that's the Kal-El canister under the aircraft (recovered by the one-man crew of a Japanese suicide submarine that got popped open accidentally when Jor-El's spacecraft landed on it) being transported to Tokyo for the youth to learn how to fight for "truth, justice, and the Japanese way."

The propeller spinner, shape of the engine cowl and shape of the canopy indicate that this is a Type 99 Carrier Bomber, model D3A2.

I thought Vals were two seaters, but I'll defer to those with far more knowledge than I.

Speaking of the Val, some of you guys who had History Channel might have already seen this

It is after the end of the Jefferson DeBlanc section.

Does make you wonder how much artistic latitude they take. But still, the ability to clickup and watch WWII Pacific War "videos" of air combat: seems pretty cool for us Grogs and geekS
